I am not talking about TV Viewers I am talking about ticket sales, Floyd does not sell tickets in his own back yard unless he is fighting a big name period, Cotto can fight a nobody in his backyard and sell out now why is that? because even his own fans dont truely support his style of fighting not enough to pay to see it.
Cotto vs Gomez brings LOWEST HBO WCB ratings ever

If Floyd went to Grand Raids, and had a fight there against lets say.......Oktay Urkal, he would sell out because of his name and because that is his native home. Same with Cotto. There is a reason that Gatti, Baldomir, Zab, ODLH, and others made their biggest pay days against Floyd, because he is THE attraction of the sport. Cotto is the attraction of NY and surrounding areas.I am not talking about TV Viewers I am talking about ticket sales, Floyd does not sell tickets in his own back yard unless he is fighting a big name period, Cotto can fight a nobody in his backyard and sell out now why is that? because even his own fans dont truely support his style of fighting not enough to pay to see it.Comment

So what are you saying the tony is an unknown fighter

he was the top welterweight befoe cotto or gayweather entered the division, most feared welter that is
cotto vs margarito are top welterweights and it would be a puerto rico vs mexico thingLast edited by Cobrita; 04-25-2008, 06:00 PM.Comment

It will do alot more than that because it is proven that Mexicans spend there money on their fighters, like Marquez, DLH, Chavez, Barrera, Morales. And PR wil buy it because of Cotto. But PR are a very small percentage of the US compared to Mexicans. Mexicans will out buy PR's 3 or 4 to 1.Comment

yeah he is going in the right direction because him and his people want 1 big money making fight. All he fights are fighters that are washed up with good names, and feather fisted fighters. I'll give it to him, he has power and decent speed, but thats why he fights feather fisted people so he can go inside, show his power and not be in any REAL danger of losing the fight.
I will say this, Cotto has fought some decent threats...
he is good as it gets when he think about fighters who are on the cusp's of greatness.....
The thing that is holding Cotto back, is Bob Arum....
Bob Arum is not letting Cotto take no risk in building his career...
When Bob Had Floyd.....Floyd was taking nothing but risk fights for all of his big fights..
Tell Me who in Floyd Generation Has done what Floyd has Done...??
Only Person i can say comes Close is Holyfield....
after that who....?
You Cant put Roy Jones Past Floyd Because He resume is Completely Stack of who is that fighters...
1994-2002 Roy Jones Resume is a
1996-2002 Floyd Mayweather
Genaro Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Diego Corrales
Carlos Hernandez
Jesus Chavez
Jose Luis Castillo
Remember Floyd turn Pro in 1996
Look at it like this After only 2 years turning Pro
Floyd Mayweather was ranked 8th On the P4P List and Number 1 in his Divison.... Only 2 years after turning Pro
(http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.ph..._Ratings:_1998)
Floyd Mayweather was ranked 2th on P4P List in Only 3 years of After turning Pro Number 1 in his Division
(http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.ph..._Ratings:_1999)
And We all know that he has been recognized number #1 for almost 4 years now....
In a shorter period of time From a Ranking Stand Point Floyd Mayweather Has risen higher than anybody.
And that is because dude resume is Stacked...
Dude was a WBC world Champion at 21 years old and 17 fights.... not no international or state or any other bull**** title, but WBC world Champion at 21 years old
Look at this PBF stat under Bob Arum.....
FORMER JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT CHAMP (’05)
FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT (2002-04)
FORMER JR. LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP (1998-00)
17-0-0, 8 KO’S IN CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS
9-0-0 (6) at jr. light.
4-0-0 (1) at light.
1-0-0 (1) at jr. welter.
2-0-0 (0) at welter.
1-0-0 (0) at jr. middle.
17 CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS HAVE LASTED 166 ROUNDS AND AVERAGED 9.8 ROUNDS
(63% of his pro rounds have been fought in championship fights)
38 FIGHTS HAVE LASTED 265 ROUNDS AND AVERAGED 7.0 ROUNDS
(45% of his fights have been championship fights)
So why haven't Arum Put Cotto on that Path Yet....
Is my only Question...
Cotto has yet, to fight a young, prime, active, p4p fighter
and he is what 7 years into his career..?
Here is Cotto's biggest Fights:
36 year Shane Mosely
and
2 year lay out Zab Judah
Cotto is finally staring to start challenge himself with Margarito, but Margarito not even a great fighter or p4p ranked....
But he is in his primeand a champion, so i will give Cotto that....
Cotto i feel has never really dare to be Great...

Oscar's competition is vastly superior. Yes ,Oscar has losses, but look at the guys he fought. Floyd at 130 was special, after 135 his opposition is not that great.
